Speaking from the White House ahead of his trip to a climate change summit in Europe, President Joe Biden attempted to sell a $1.75 trillion spending framework that hasn't been written into legislation yet. Despite two trips to Capitol Hill, there is no "deal."
"I think we have a start on an economic framework," Biden said. "I'll have more to say when I return from critical meetings in Europe this week."
Biden claimed the framework won't add to the deficit, but it hasn't been scored yet.
Biden reportedly wants a vote on the framework today, but it hasn't been written into a real bill yet.
Meanwhile, Senate Budget Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders isn't satisfied and says the framework needs "improvement."
After his remarks, Biden walked away without taking any questions.
